TW: Should plus-sized women really wear bikinis?

[guywithissues900]

TW = Trigger Warning if you're easily offended or if you're one of the "plus-sized" women I talk about in this Take.

I don’t know since when this even began, but bikinis were not initially meant to be part of a plus-sized woman's wardrobe. It was meant to show off a woman's body; to show her beauty and looks. It was not for delusional women who believe in the entire "body positivity" bullshit.

I know this makes me come off as sexist or misogynistic, but men don't have this kind of luxury either. Since when can men wear whatever they want without being judged? We are limited to a specific kind of clothing, and we accept it. Meanwhile, these women think they look good in this:

Really? Seriously? WHY!?

Look, I understand that some people are overweight, fat, obese, whatever. And you make your own choices in life to become like that... But to wear a bikini, thinking that you'll look good in it? That is downright delusional. What an awful, disgusting view, don't you think? If you want to fit into a bikini so desperately, then lose the weight and do everyone a favor.

As a way to compare, look at this next woman:

A lovely, appealing view compared to the last one, don't you think?

Why do you think this second woman wears a bikini? Because she knows she looks gorgeous in it. Meanwhile, the first one only wants to be like the second woman, acting like a bikini will change her entire appearance.

Bikinis are not meant for plus-sized women. I'm sorry. But that's like ignoring your obvious problem (your weight and lack of self-care) and compensating with purchasing a bikini. It's ironic and is essentially a contradiction. This incident is similar to women wanting to be part of the Boy Scouts. None of this makes any kind of sense!

[andreasderjuengere]

Isn't it just swimwear?
Surely, I also don't enjoy whale watching...
but I can always look away :)
In some way the obese have a positive effect: they make the well-shaped people stand out.

[guywithissues900]

"Whale watching" LOL

[andreasderjuengere]

Oops: I see at least 4 ladies feeling pissed for being on the wrong side of the weight scale :D

[eva_day12345]

Aww, is someone angry that women don't care about their opinion? Have fun with your childish misogyny babe.

[andreasderjuengere]

@eva_day12345 No, madam. To anger me would require a lot more than just a mouse-click :)
I am more responding to the fact that beyond this said click, some guys do not want to enter into a discussion of differing 'values'. Which leads me to the assumption that was indicated with my 'oops-afterthought'. So - Eva - are you man enough to state your position in more detail?
If not... just downvote me :D

[eva_day12345]

i would love too! thanks. i believe that as long as a person is not hurting someone else with their actions, they should be able to do as they please. its not hurting you for plus size women to wear bikinis. when you insult someones weight, it says more about you then it does about them. how exactly would you know someone is heavier just based on their comment against fat-shaming? you wouldn't. i won't stoop so low as to insult your appearance as you do to these women now. weight isn't always an indicator of health, have you ever met anyone with anorexia? they may be thin, and fit with your standards of beauty, but that doesn't mean they aren't literally dying everyday. many plus size women have a lot of trouble even gaining the confidence to go out in a one piece swim suit, let alone a bikini. i think that it isn't your place in this world to tell them how to dress.

[andreasderjuengere]

@eva_day12345 Thanks for the comment :) See: I did not (and do not) say that 'big people' should NOT wear bikini. I will also not personally walk up to them and give my opinion to them; that's unnecessary, and insulting.
To mention in general that I don't favour their looks must be allowed, though.

[eva_day12345]

thank you for clarifying! im sorry i misunderstood your opinion.

[andreasderjuengere]

@eva_day12345 We sorted that out :) Talking always gets us (people) further...

[andreasderjuengere]

@boyab The cousin of my stepdaughter's neighbour makes even more. But unlike your 'offer' here: he's making money with serious and qualified work. He studied and graduated... and has no need for online hoo-hah and other empty promises :D

[wankiam]

its a spam attack... dont waste your time engaging

[andreasderjuengere]

@wankiam I know, thanks. But I had some time to kill, so I practiced my English skills... :D

[Browneye57]

@eva_day12345 - And it's not YOUR place to tell ANYONE what they should or shouldn't do. What, you think you're their mommy? LOL

[b5fan]

@eva_day12345 There is no misogyny here. The definition of misogyny is hatred of women. Not being attracted to an obese woman is not women hating. It is a personal preference.

[Anonymous]

Overweight women should not wear bikinis. The people that make bikinis should not make them in sizes that fit overweight women!

[G5TWA1]

why?

[Opinion Owner]

@G5TWA1 It is really aesthetically unpleasant and glorifies poor health.

[G5TWA1]

yeah well fat people are already aesthetically unpleasant so it's not a big change for them doesn't mean they can't wear what they want, and I don't think that those bikinis are a problem because whoever makes them just wants to make money, there are people who are overweight because of health problems, not choices and should be deprived of wearing bikinis just because you don't wanna look at fatties, and what really glorifies poor health is when you go to the supermarket and 90% of the stuff there is designed to make you addicted and fat, maybe solving that would be a better solution than undermining people's freedom to do what they want with their bodies

[Opinion Owner]

@G5TWA1 Stop ranting. It's unattractive.

[G5TWA1]

bitch you wrote 5 paragraphs ranting about fat girls wearing bikinis

[Opinion Owner]

@G5TWA1 Wrong. The OP wrote those, idiot.

[G5TWA1]

sorry my bad, and about the ranting I just don't like people trying to control other people's choices

[guywithissues900]

1. It's unattractive
2. It's unhealthy
3. It's visual pollution!! Funny but true

[Opinion Owner]

@G5TWA1 Get over it.

[BlueScorpio]

wearing a bikini has nothing to do with one's health, that really doesn't glorify obesity. If anything glorifies obesity it would be all the fast food advertisement.

[errorgoodnameunfound]

Aesthetics I don't give a fuck about, just as a true warrior wouldn't give a shit either. 2nd, that goes against capitalism and freedom, just because it hurts feelings, aka opinions on aesthetics. They have jut as much freedom to wear what they want, just as you have the freedom to look away.

And anyways, you could make the same argument about older people in general wearing fewer clothes. Are we going to tell people over fifty to always cover themselves well because your eyes can't be controlled?

[DRad123]

@G5TWA1 Hey, just word of advice. Don't give this kind of person any legroom with apologies like that. I think you made a good point to a reasonable degree and this idiot had nothing really to say back to you except a shitty attitude that didn't address your points at all. He's got nothing. You're good.

[Yep12345678]

I think a few extra pounds is okay. There's a difference between overweight and morbidly obese.

[G5TWA1]

@DRad123 thanks but I apologised because I confused the guy with someone else, if I don't apologise when I Know I'm wrong I'm as much of an asshole as he is

[DWornock]

Even though I completely agree that overweight women should not wear bikinis, I don't agree they should not be made since the purpose of selling is to make money; that is, sell what will sell.

[CuriousCat123]

Some people can't help there weight. How would you feel you were bigger and I said you can't not wear a shirt because you would look bad.

[DWornock]

I agree that grossly overweight women shouldn't wear bikinis. However, to make a profit, if there is a demand, bikini makers will meet the demand and it is foolish to think that they shouldn't

[WhenInDoubt]

What a woman wears, no matter her size, is her own choice and her own business. If you don't like it, look away as you would with anything else that offends you. Look at it this way--she's wearing a swimsuit because she's swimming, which is great excercise! If you genuinely believe that overweight people should lose weight before wearing bikinis, how exactly do you suppose they do it? By excercising! And for the record, making plus-sized women hate themselves will not make them lose weight faster. You don't have the right to tell someone else how to look or feel. In fact, most plus-sized women are fully aware of what people think about it and are trying to lose weight. Don't make them feel worse about themselves. The woman in the first picture is covering the exact same area as the woman in the second picture, so it's not indecent.

If you honestly think that women having self-esteem regardless of their size is delusional, then you're the delusional one. What part of "don't judge a book by its cover" do you not understand? Just because someone is overweight/obese doesn't mean that they aren't allowed to feel good about themselves.

Also, you contradicted yourself twice in your post, which proves your opinion is illegitimate. 1. You referred to body positivity as "bullshit" in the first paragraph, then in the last paragraph you said that "lack of self-care" is part of the problem leading to being overweight/obese. For the record, having good self-esteem and feeling good about yourself/your looks is SUPER important for self-care, and is also made worse by people like you judging her for something as simple as her clothing choices. 2. In the second paragraph, you said that plus-sized women wear bikinis because "they think they look good in [them]", yet in the fourth paragraph you said that they wear them because they "only [want] to be like" skinny people. This shows that you don't even understand the reasons for the argument you're trying to put forward because it's an illegitimate argument.

So, in short: Should Plus-Sized Women Wear Bikinis? You're not a plus-sized woman (I don't know or care about your weight but you're labelled as a guy on this site, that's how I know that), so it's none of your business and not your decision to make.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

"I know this makes me come off as sexist or misogynistic, but men don't have this kind of luxury either. Since when can men wear whatever they want without being judged? We are limited to a specific kind of clothing, and we accept it" ...
Really? This is men limiting and accepting a specific kind of clothing according to their body type?

When women would prefer to see:

You say men get shamed for what they wear, but I'm seeing way more men trying to shame women. Just quit fat shaming people period... But if you gonna fat shame then shouldn't you shame all? If you're saying cover the fat then say it for all... Otherwise you just come off sexist as well...
How bout just worry about your body and what you wear and let others do the same... What are you the gain police? 🤣

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

"fashion police

[Gibbby]

preach! HAHAH

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Gibbby I'm always curious these guys saying women should have perfect bodies,,, do they? 🤔 I personally wouldn't wear a bikini if I was that size, but I'm not gonna judge others that do... Think we facing bigger issues in this country right now then what beach wear people wearing

[Gibbby]

Agreed, beauty will only last what 10 years? then you actually need a personality not just looks -.- OP better not have a belly in th next 20years since he's so disgusted by fat people. Even though I have the ideal bodytype to be wearing bikinis I don't because of people like this guy, who go around dictating what everyone else should be doing according to his standards. Last time i checked the world didn't revolve around what he likes or dislikes..

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Gibbby right! And that bikini babe probably wouldn't look twice at him anyways 😂 if don't personally don't like heavy people don't date them, hell don't look, but don't think you got a right to tell em what they can and can't wear...

[Gibbby]

Wardrobe nazis

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Gibbby 🤣🤣

[ArcticBliss]

Perfect response

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@ArcticBliss thanks 🙂

[Bluemax]

Very well put.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Bluemax thanks 🙂

[BlueScorpio]

Exactly, if women said they preferred to see the 3rd picture you know men will get madder than mofo without his crack fix.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@BlueScorpio 🤣🤣 right

[Pallavi37]

@Brainsbeforebeauty you are genius to find such pictures and post salute you. Now men should understand what they are.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Pallavi37 I don't care who wears what... Just stop the double standards people geesh. All I'm saying here. .

[Pallavi37]

Right

[meetkitty123]

The first picture is real and you are comparing it to a fake photoshopped picture. It was edited to perfection.
The first picture isn't ugly.
She is feminine and is in her own right to wear what she wants.
As for the comments on men compared to women... Well
Excuse me isn't it true that the men's bathing suit fashion has not required them to wear a top since about 1930's?

For almost 100yrs men flocked beaches lakes and pools (or backyards & streets) shirtless. It didn't matter what shape they were and no one can really say anything about a man because he was a man and men were expect to go topless.

Men about 100yrs ago

1940s what a joy to be a man

Wonderful to be a man in the 1940s

TODAYS MEN

Hmm either shape of these men are acceptable in public.

So it's safe to say ANYONE with your opinion who says what bathing suit a woman can wear Or can't depends on her body shape is plain out

SEXISTIF what people wear to a beach or in public offends your sensibilities
LOOK AWAY!

[c0stell0]

Interesting take? But if I felt you were too ugly to look at, and for arguments sake, lets say a decent amount of people feel the same way... are you then suppose to go around with a bag on your head? If you are under the assumption that the world exists for you, and beauty is defined only by your standards, and women are to judged by your criteria alone and those who don't fit should be ashamed and need to be covered... jeez kid, i dont want to shock you not everything is about you. If you aren't feeding, financing, or fucking that particular person then you literally have NO say in what they choose to wear or not wear. Contrary to popular belief, women don't wear bikinis to gather your opinions on how they look in them. Its ok for you to not like what you see. THATS TOTALLY OKAY!! but whats not ok is too assume people need to change for you. or that you need to vocally express to a person (or a group/type of person) that you think they are disgusting... thats just going out of your way to try to make someone feel bad... which is a huge dick move.

[anon1903]

Thank you.

[bratgirlfriend]

Preaching to the choir here 👯‍♀️🎉 great answer

[Sparda20xx]

Well said. I feel that he should post a pic of himself. If you're going to be that much of douche bag you better be in shape.

[Anonymous]

lolol I'm fat (obese) and I'll wear whatever I want to wear. People should wear what they want to. Some fashion rules exist for different reasons, but rules are made to be broken, especially when it's the kinder thing to do.

Should fat men wear oversized t-shirts at the beach that cover their stomachs? If you agree that men should cover up when fat at the beach as well, then at least you're consistent. If your answer to my question is no, then you're being sexist and trying to police women's bodies specifically. And the idea that men have been as pressured on their wear as women is laughable, honestly.

The body positivity movement has kind of freed many of us from the kind of overly self-anxious existence that women have been pressured into for centuries. So sorry about that, kiddo. I have way more confidence than some of my thin friends. It's bad - women are taught to hate their bodies always and telling some women to hide their bodies because you don't like the way they look is not only sexist but also reflective of your own lack of empathy, which is a huge character flaw and indicative of other little nasties in your personality. You think my body is ugly? That's okay, honey. I think your personality and character are ugly. We're even. Don't look at me and you won't have to see my fat. Don't speak to me and I won't have to focus too much on your hideous personality. This is how the world works. Not to mention a lot of people who make these posts are probably not even that cute by a conventional standard, but I digress... Read 'em and weep, sucka:

[Sbgirl]

I get what you're saying in that they don't look good or it isn't particularly flattering.

However, bikinis are generally more just swim/beach wear, not for necessarily parading around in. A one-piece, while it covers the belly, isn't going to look miles better. People strip down at the beach regardless. If I see an overweight woman in a bikini, would I think it looked pleasant? No, not really but in the same way I would seeing an overweight man in trunks. Would I demand all men, unless they are thin with toned abs, where t-shirts with their trunks? Absolutely not. They aren't there for me to admire and I can look way if it really bothered me that much.

And that is my point here. All women don't exist to be aesthetically pleasing to you 24/7. You don't like the look? Fine, look away. Want to check out a hot girl in a bikini? Also fine and as you will. But don't dictate what women should wear when they don't actually go to the beach for your amusement anyway.

Should one of us girls make a MyTake stating how all overweight men should keep their stomachs covered at the beach because trunks and speedos were meant for fit and toned men? Somehow don't think y'all would be so for that.
by the way I'm not overweight and getting triggered and offended. My body type is more like the second girl, but I don't believe bikinis are only meant for parading our bodies around. I know that's not why I wear one.

[Sparda20xx]

You should absolutely make one. I'm sure the person who made this post doesn't have six pack abs. It's so sad thaten can be fat as fuck yet have the audacity to talk about women weight

[Sparda20xx]

*it's so sad that men

[sabesauce]

Firstly, you kept pointing out that "if you want to fit into a bikini so desperately, then lose the weight and do everyone a favor." That's really not practical. Some people are overweight due to medical reasons, medicines they take, or hereditary reasons. Even if this isn't the case, it takes a lot more than "eating a few apples" to lose, potentially, 100s of pounds to fit that unrealistic picture. Second, as others have pointed out, overweight men wear no shirt to the beach and you dont seem to have any problem with it. Whys that? Third, why are you shaming body positivity? Women, in general (not just overweight), have trouble with appreciating their bodies (due to people like you). And not everyone wants to wear a bikini. I certainly never have. Some people that fit your outrageous criteria may feel better in a onepiece suit, so let them wear that. Some bigger people may prefer a two piece, let them. And last, what about pregnant women? Are you going to get pissy about them wearing a two piece, because, technically, their "fat" too. But I've never seen a one piece for pregnant women (maybe there is?) So they wear two pieces. I dont know anyone that has a problem with that. Maybe they dont have a problem with it because "it wasn't their choice to get fat" well it was, probably. Now if you go with that same mindset, "it wasn't their choice to get fat" then your probably more correct when talking about obese women then pregnant women.

[Bisexual_music_geek]

Yeah, I see no problem with it. As long as her tits aren't showing and her parts down there aren't exposed I see no problem with it. If that's what she feels comfortable wearing then I will support them to the end. She doesn't have to wear a bikini just because she wants to look good. There isn't a lot of comfortable swimwear for people with the body shape you showed above. It ends up being too restricting which can make it harder to swim and breathe. Not everyone makes a choice to be obese. Some people get it from genetics so it's unfair to assume that every obese person is at fault for their weight. It doesn't impact you, and you don't have to stare. Please keep in mind that not all women dress to impress men, a lot of us go for comfort and practicality. My body is similar to that of the second girl (I'm flatter up there since I'm East Asian), and my friend is similar to that of the first girl. If my friend wants to wear the same type of bikini as me and there's one in her size I won't stop her. If that's what she feels comfortable in that's all that matters to me.

[Anonymous]

well first of all, not all women look like the second woman. some do, and thats okay. more power to them, but not everyone. women to exist in the world for your pleasure. if a plus sized women like to wear a bikini, or any other sort of clothing, its not your job to tell her what to do with her body. personally, i feel that as long as a person is happy, and not hurting anyone else with their actions, they should be allowed to do as they please. larger women in bikinis, just like larger men without shirts, are not hurting you. most likely, it took a lot of confidence for them to be brave enough to go out in one that day, and its not fair for you to tear them down for that. if they have that confidence, telling them they shouldn't wear what they want will break down their self esteem. i would like to know who appointed you the fashion police. i guarantee those women got up in the morning, and did not give a single thought to what you would think about them. they aren't dressing up to give you a reason to jack off. again, women are not on this earth for your pleasure! please get over your childish misogyny. its truly ridiculous.

[OutdoorsForLife]

Good answer

[TruthBringer]

I get your point. But yet again, who is at fault for them self esteem issues over their body weight? Nobody is force feeding them McDonalds down their throats. Being obese is a sign of leading a bad lifestyle and lack of self care (given they don't have a condition out of their control). I don't mind if fat women walk around in a bikini. That's their right to wear that. I simply don't pay attention to them.

Also, if women are not there for our pleasure, then don't dress up up provocatively t in order to attract eyes of men. And I'm saying this to women in general. If you don't want to be seen as a sex toy, then dress up like a sex toy. Just saying.

[Opinion Owner]

@TruthBringer hi there, i dont think thats fair. not all women dress for men. not all women are even attracted to men. while some do dress up for others, and there's nothing wrong with that, many women dress for themselves. if you think i work on my makeup and outfit every morning for hours just to impress some stranger on the supermarket, you are most definitely mistaken. i wear whatever makes me feel beautiful that day, not what i think the creepy person across the street will think is hot. I've found your comment seriously misogynistic, i sincerely hope it wasn't intended that way.

[TruthBringer]

Ah, the outdated "I dress for myself" claim. I've put this under another post before so I'll put it here for you:

Oh you dress or make up for yourself? So you get turned on when looking at yourself? So you flaunt your assets or makeup to yourself? I don't think so, right?
Even though you may not actively want to be approached, you do it in order to be perceived as attractive. Knowing you are perceived as attractive is enough validation to give yourself a boost in self esteem. Women want to keep their sexual market value high. Either consciously or unconsciously.

There is a reason why they say "You dress well, you feel well" (which includes makeup). And that is because you feel well when you ARE PERCEIVED as good looking by OTHER people (especially men). Who doesn't feel good when they know the opposite sex finds them attractive? I don't wear a suit inside my house, I do it when I go out. Same thing for your make up and 'sexy' clothings. They go off your face as soon as you go back home or never to be put on when you don't leave the house, in the first place.

Women are notorious for talking crap about other women in public. Hence, they you try your best to look your best if you can to also compete against women.
So ladies, take that "I do it for myself" argument back to the garbage can, because you're not fooling anyone. The only valid reason you do it for yourself, is in order to feel good about yourself through being perceived as attractive by other people.

Also, learn the difference between someone who is misogynistic and someone who sees the truth for what it is. I was not being misogynistic. I see things for what they truly are. That doesn't make me a misogynist. Reality is, you dress to impress. Either male or female. Either corporate or private. Sorry, but you're not going to insult people's intelligence so easily.

[MusicJunkie89]

Firstly, as a graphic designer, the second one is heavily photoshopped.

Secondly, it’s very ironic that you cite your own insecurities as a man being limited as to what you can wear and how you are perceived based in your appearance whole simultaneously judging a woman for doing something that is the antithesis of that.

Case in point. Women don’t wear bikinis for men, or most of us don’t. We do it because we enjoy it. If you don’t like it, don’t look.
When I see a man who is unfashionable ( and therefore not attractive) I just go, “ huh” and look awwwwaaaaayyyyyyyyyy

I advise you to do the same.

[bamesjond0069]

Another of the most retarded arguments on the internet "Women don’t wear bikinis for men, or most of us don’t" whats next? The sky is green? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[bakingperfectionist]

@bamesjond0069 are you actually mentally challenged? Women wear bikinis on the beach... because that's what you wear to the beach.. in order to swim and get an even tan... its literally what they're designed for. Do men really think the entire world revolves around them? it's getting ridiculous now.

[bamesjond0069]

@bakingperfectionist lmao girls wear bikinis to tan even. Bullshit. Tell that to all the drunk ass bikini girls who are sunburnt. They did it for the tan. Smh.

[Starlet23]

@bamesjond0069 it’s for the tan and feels better when it’s hot outside.

[bakingperfectionist]

@bamesjond0069 you're either trolling, being sarcastic or a complete moron.

[BlueScorpio]

"but men don't have this kind of luxury either."

ugh, actually you do. I'm not seeing men who look like the lady in the first picture stop coming to beach without a shirt on, nor do other men, such as yourself, point out that obese men should "keep a shirt on if they don't have the body for it". They got their gut and titties hanging out to right next to the women so.. we might as as well extend that to men as well who don't fit into the perfect body standard/image. In that case, 60 to maybe 70% of people wouldn't be able to go to the beach with your logic.

[Mishan97]

Bikinis aren’t meant to show off your body. It’s primary purpose is to be clothing specifically for swimming. Of course some people where bikinis with the intent to show off how they look. But ur assuming everyone has the same standard of beauty as you. Most people prefer the second pic but there’s plenty of men that have fetishes for overweight women and would find the first pic hot. So really it just depends. Also, how does it affect ur life in any way? If you don’t like how someone looks in a bikini just look away.

[lumos]

Shouldn't overweight men then also cover up more on the beach? Shouldn't they wear some sort of top too? Most don't.

I'm of the opinion that people can wear whatever the hell they want at the beach, and they don't exist to be other people's eye candy. I. e. if an overweight woman feels the most comfortable in a bikini, then that's her choice. Surely people don't go to the beach just to please others, they're there to relax/swim/have a good time. If you're so triggered by someone else's body, you can simply look away.

[armleg]

i swam with a shirt on until i was 23 because people made fun of my man boobs fuck you

[lumos]

@armleg I only questioned the OP's (lack of) logic and why he basically only attacked women for being overweight. Like I said, "I'm of the opinion that people can wear whatever the hell they want at the beach, and they don't exist to be other people's eye candy.". I personally don't believe overweight men should be forced to wear t-shirts at the beach. I merely questioned the OP's perspective.

I used to never wear short sleeves or sleeveless tops/dresses until I was 20-something myself, because of the keratosis pilaris I had on my upper arms. That was definitely not fun during the summer. So I know what it feels like to be insecure and want to cover up.

[OlderAndWiser]

I agree with some of what you say. Fat women in bikinis is not a pretty sight and it doesn't get more attractive by calling them "plus size" or "curvy.". People should have enough sense to know that they are not attractive to others and few people want to watch blubber on parade.

However, we live in a land that is built on freedom, and freedom is just an illusion unless you have the freedom to do stupid stuff. So, if a 22 year old girl wants to dye her hair green, get covered in slutty tattoos, and wear a railroad spike through her nose, she can do that, and I will just need to look the other way. The same with fat girls and guys putting it all on display at the pool or beach.

Silver lining in the cloud:. They make the rest of us look good!

[Ellie-V]

I’m short and curvy. I don’t like bikinis anymore. I’m not overweight but I prefer big t shirts and shorts now. I know I’m gorgeous with or without cover up.
Why is it a problem when overweight women have the same mentality? Just because you don’t like it or prefer to see it doesn’t mean they should adopt your same mindset. People are allowed to feel comfortable and confident in whatever size they happen to come in.
If I wanted to wear a damn two piece and show off my body I could very well do that but I choose not to because I LOVE the way I look in the complete opposite attire.
So all you bigger ladies out there, more power to you.

[weasley8]

Maybe they’re not wearing it to look good for you. Maybe they’re wearing it because they like it. And that’s as good a reason as any. It’s not hurting anyone. People can wear what they want. I think that diversity of all kinds is a beautiful thing. One of my favorite things about weddings is seeing how all the bridesmaids, despite being dressed the same, shine in their own way. Swimwear is the same idea. If you eliminate the idea that someone is “supposed” to look one way or another, you can start seeing the beauty in all sorts of things.

[Little_Princesa]

Maybe when passing by women in the beach, stop staring at the bigger ones and overthinking about their intention. Yea, stop judging women. How can guys with a big belly go around shirtless and not get judged?

[Twalli]

They do

Guys do not care as much about their looks, but women do. Women do that to attract the opposite sex. It's biology, if you don’t like it then I guess become lesbian or transgender

I feel like the biggest misconception with what you wrote is that you're assuming females always wear bikinis because they think they make them more attractive. I personally wear one because I prefer it to a one piece or shorts. I don't wear it to look more attractive or to get more attention from men. Let's be honest most females are acutely aware of their weight, but it doesn't bother everyone. Some people just don't care that a bikini isn't flattering and wear it because they like it.

That I don't get because basically every woman cares how others perceive them by their looks, or what they wear. That is why hot girls wear barely there bikini's. When I was 190 pounds I would have been too embarrassed to wear a bikini and always went with one piece suits. The only time I would wear a bikini was in the poison control center. My looks in a bikini, like 10 pounds of potatoes in a 5 pound bag, would induce vomiting.

I do agree that there are a lot of women who care greatly about how their bodies look. Most people that I've been around though who are quite overweight and still wore a bikini just didn't care. That being said, I was raised in an area where there are a lot of people who are overweight so this wasn't an uncommon occurrence there. The post was written from the perspective that the only reason a women would wear a bikini is to get male attention. Im trying to point out that that is not necessarily the only reason. Bikinis are typically cuter and who doesn't hate trying to go to the restroom wearing a one piece. For me personally I think a one piece actually looks worse on my body. You could use your same argument with yoga pants. Women with great butts are going to wear them to show that off, but people who aren't toned will still wear them simply because they're comfortable regardless of how they fit.

What a narcissistic person you are. Imagine thinking people exist for your viewing pleasure only; wow couldn't imagine that sick mindset. I dont care about any shape or size of person in a swimsuits, man or woman. I am glad they are having a nice day on the beach and enjoying themselves. Also that second photo is photoshopped to the high heavens xD just another day of ridiculous things said by very shallow narcissistic men.

I see dudes with huge bellies walking around shirtless in the hot weather, wearing speedos at the beach. And if you don't like something try just not looking at the person. I don't get why anyone cares what another person is wearing. Unless they have absolutely nothing better to do with their brain, which is apparently the case.

Come on, I've never seen a Fat European man with a large belly wearing a speedo. you're making that up. Admit it

@janedoe377
They are called swim briefs not speedos since speedo is a brand.

@MysteriousDarkness Its one of the reasons that I am afraid to travel to Europe again

[JaneDoe377]

My mistake

[CakesNCream]

@SuccessfulHornDog when I went to Turkey there were quite a few European men walking around like that lol

[SuccessfulHornDog]

@CakesNCream I know, I was being facetious because it is a thing that they do (unfortunately)
